Kimmel Hoping Luck Will Blow His Way in the Windy City: Frank Kimmel and
his Pork Racing team will blow into the 'windy city' of
Chicago this weekend as the ARCA RE/MAX Series prepares to compete at the
Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois on Saturday afternoon. While
Kimmel continues to sit atop the Championship points standings as he
chases his unprecedented eighth ARCA Championship, he leads by only 180
points with four races remaining in the 2006 season. Kimmel left the
dirt track in DuQuoin with a disappointing 31st place finish and gave up
several points heading into Chicago.

"DuQuoin was pretty frustrating," said Kimmel.
"But that was Monday and now we need to focus on Chicagoland. We
do not have much of a points cushion with four races left in the season
so we need to go for the win every week and if we cannot get the victory
than we need to race smart and get a top-five finish. I like Chicagoland
and I have had some success at this track, but with all the new winners
we have had this season, you just never know who will be a threat once
the green flag drops."

Kimmel is the only repeat winner in the 2006 ARCA RE/MAX
Series season scoring victories at the Winchester Speedway, the Kansas
Speedway and the Pocono Raceway. While Kimmel has earned 11 top-five
finishes and 12 top-ten finishes this season, he has also finished
outside the top-15 six times. But Kimmel's record at Chicagoland
includes one pole, one win and four top-ten finishes in his five starts
at the 1.5-mile speedway.

"The Pork Racing team has not had the season we are
used to," said Kimmel. "We have had a lot of bad luck which
has really forced us to point's race in these final races if we
want to bring the National Pork Board their first championship as primary
sponsor. That is definitely the goal every time we pull into the race
track and we are not a team that dwells on what happened the week
before."

Kimmel enters this weekend's race with a 180-point lead
over second place in the point's championship.
